Kilbride said the Avesta Housing Authority conducted a routine search of Kelley’s apartment and when contacted police when the marijuana was discovered. Kelley also had specialized lights and vents as part of a growing operation.

The workers were inspecting Kelley’s apartment in an effort to evict her, Kibride said.

Avesta Housing provides low-income housing, but Kilbride said Kelley was not on state assistance.

A search warrant was obtained for Kelley and she was subsequently arrested and booked into the Cumberland County jail, where she made bail on Tuesday. The drugs had an estimated value of $40,000, Kilbride said.
